Speaking of which, using round roast (which is what
I think my hostess used) in stews is an abomination.
I imagine your hostess may not agree with your assessment... ;) What
Her husband did, though, and bought chuck in
contravention of instructions. But then he
was obedient and trimmed off all visible fat.
would you use in a stew....?
For fatty people, chuck. For unfatty guests, a leaner
chuck cut (blade, shoulder, neck), sirloin tip, shin.
Round is best eaten raw, carefully dry cooked depending
on the quality of the meat, burgerized with addtional fat,
or fried (cutlet or stir-fry).
With all those suspicious, one might well be concerned... He must be at least to some extent going along with her urgings, though...
He's a big boy, and short of having him declared,
there's no recourse. The distressing thing is that
the misgivings about this woman started off jocularly
on the surface at least, but now they're becoming too
frequent and too vociferous. You and I don't normally
look at people with that kind of suspicion, but there
are times when discretion is the better part of valor.
Sometimes even jocular misgivings can turn out to be well-founded... or
tuen out to not really be a problem....
It's by no means certain that this woman means badly,
but neither is it certain that her judgment is sound.
Were I to want to commit suicide, a good way might be
to put myself in such a person's hands. Luckily, Lilli
is slowing down at least as fast as I am.
So you'll both likely not overpace each other...
We shall see.
My most recent conductor just bought me a 10-LED Kootek
stand lamp. It does something but not enough. Enough to
protect my job (I'm hired through May)? Who knows.
Hopefully.... I was recently reading something about some musician
losing much acuity, and there was something about her having her music enlarged greatly so that she could read it.... I think computers were involved....
Someone at the gig showed me that he'd scanned the
music and put it on his iPad, which was fitted with
a pedal for "turning pages." It seemed clever, but
I couldn't read the part off it. And while he was
joyfully demonstrating this, it malfunctioned anyway.
... Inanimate objects move just enough to get in your way.
Nothing says that inanimate objects won't move!
Especially if someone or something gives it a kick.... ;)
An object at rest tends to stay at rest, but the
impetus may be obscure.
